Single-channel rubber cable protector
The Checker Distributors RFD8-5 is a single-channel rubber cable protector designed for indoor or outdoor use. It covers one cable up to 1 1/4 inches in diameter and supports a load capacity of 440 lb per axle. The unit is five feet long, six inches wide and 1 3/8 inches high with a smooth black finish. It suits event organisers, facility managers and anyone needing temporary trip-hazard protection for a single cable run.
Linkable pins for quick layout
Installation uses the supplied linkable pins that connect multiple sections without tools. The rubber body lies flat on the surface and the split top opens to insert the cable, then closes around it. On uneven ground the protector can rock slightly, so a clean, level floor gives the best result. No adhesive or fasteners are included, so permanent mounting requires separate hardware.
One cable up to 1 1/4 in diameter
The single channel accepts one cable with a maximum diameter of 1 1/4 inches and handles axle loads of 440 lb. It comfortably covers standard power cords, audio snake cables and light data lines in pedestrian or light-vehicle areas. Heavier industrial vehicles or cables larger than 1 1/4 inches exceed the design limits and are not supported.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the cable protector is seated correctly after linking sections together?
When the linkable pins click fully into the adjacent unit and the surface sits flush with no gaps, the 440 lb axle rating is active.
What components arrive in the package and what must I source separately?
The protector itself is supplied split; no additional hardware is included, so any anchoring spikes or end caps are separate purchases.
Which channel height matches a 1 1/4 inch cable diameter?
The single channel measures 1 1/4 inch high by 1 1/4 inch wide, so it fits cables up to that exact diameter.
